OP:You need to work 7 days a week to get by, but you'd vote yes for an immediate $1.50/hr raise so you can drop your other job? You need to work every day but $20/wk would fix all that? I don't get it lol
Part timer planning on voting yes: Change my mind.

- Start date
I'm for keeping it the way it is in the new contract but some here want a 1.20 raise a year. So I was offering a solution to make a compromise.
How many contracts have you negotiated?
Things always get shifted around, ask Fred.

Because they're totally going to make tons of those when they can just create combination positions instead. The only time they'll "make" an RPCD position is when one is vacated through retirement or termination.

You proved my point exactly.
And mine as well.

If you think the contract is good then vote yes.... that is your choice, and right... I praise you for being a part timer and actually just voting because 80% of your fellow workers in the hub won’t....

Those jobs will go to 22.4 drivers first, right?
22.2 and 22.4 are a sad perversion of the 22.3 classification. The 22.3 option has never been fully enforced or exhausted. Many part-timers do not want to drive or are unable to.
He!!, we won a court case to enforce 22.3 language in (97/98). Since then, our leaders have surrendered, conceded and backed down in every contract since our victory. 22.4 is just the latest betrayal. Remember, as far as I can find, the combo struggle started in 1993 and here we are!
If you read the contract language, discussions and arguments in the beginning starting in 1993, combo jobs were created for part-timers. In most places now, part-timers can not even bid on a 22.3 job. 22.3 has been usurped (waited for years to be able use that word) and given to drivers coasting into retirement by our union leaders, understanding that PT members although a larger voting block, do not vote their advantage.
That is why part-timers are screwed contact after contact after contract..........
How many 22.3 jobs have been created since 1993? Does anyone know the total?
How many 22.2?

You have some facts wrong.
22.2 jobs are the original full-time inside jobs, and are the highest paying.
The case was settled in arbitration in 2001. (thanks to Hoffa)
People that won a bid on the new 22.3 jobs, were awarded backpay and back dated
seniority dates to the year 2000 (?).
Almost.
The "real" 22.3 combo language didn't start until 1997. Although, there was language for
for creating 500 new full-time jobs from existing work (and could be combo jobs) they
were only available in job descriptions such as clerks, carwash, porters, and shifters.
Part-timers can bid on "newly created" 22.3 jobs.... and part-timers only.
That's not true at all.
When an existing 22.3 job becomes available, it should be bid within the classification first,
and if not filled, offered to any other full-time employee.
The Union is not giving people retirement jobs. They bid the job and won it.
The Union and the company know.

Yes you did. Totally disconnected.
I could argue the same point for you.

But you do whine and moan. Your respect isn’t needed. Great, keep it. Many on here think they are heroes trying to look out for the younger generations, that’s false and bs. If it was so important, where were you when they made driver progression 4 years from 2 and 1?? OP made a valid point regarding working OT. The union listened to its members and offered a crap solution that sold our OT to the youngsters. Now you all cry. Thanks for selling out my hours and then complaining about it.

Wrong and ignorant. I have yet to vote yes on a contract. If it continues to not benefit all, I will continue to VOTE NO. Get your facts straight, and you can call me HERO!

Didn't drivers ask to stop the ridiculous 70 hour work weeks. So you think complaining about that means you shouldn't complain when the company's solution is to create a new lower payed driver with no protections that makes it harder to become a regular driver now, and after all that it doesn't even take away the fact a current driver can still work 70 hours? And screwing part timers at the same time. Your delusional.
Maybe they should have taken it out of the 1 billion a year in tax breaks. Btw, still waiting on your election math Mrs all talk no action.

I don't see the big deal, they are only part timers.
